The Board position of ‘Ordinary Director – Greater Sydney/South East Region’, has be now been opened for Expressions of Interest. Landcare NSW are now seeking applications from people living in the Greater Sydney or South East region who are interested in joining the Board of Landcare NSW, the peak body for Landcare in the state.

The primary purpose of the organisation is to serve as a ‘resource advocate’ to ensure that the thousands of Landcarers in NSW have all they need to care for our land, environment and communities.”
To ensure that Landcare NSW has the perspective of everyone in the state, Board Directors are elected from electoral zones that cover the entire state.
“If you live in the Greater Sydney or South East electoral zone and share our commitment to strengthening and growing the community Landcare movement in NSW to improve the health of our natural and working landscapes, you should consider standing for the Board,” said former Landcare NSW Chair Stephanie Cameron.
